Apple video conferencing - Old Technology New for Apple

In Australia, the current TV commercials focus on Apple's iphone 4 'new' ability to make a video conferencing call.

The product is 'cleverly' marketed to the younger generation, using the very strong emotion of love to get people to buy the product, i.e. that you can only see your loved one on an iphone 4.

What is a forgotten fact that in Australia, it was possible for the masses to make video conferencing calls in the 3 network in 2004 on such phones as the NEC 606.

Apple is portraying a 'new' technology whilst actually being 6 years behind.

With the iphone 4, Apple has retarded its bluetooth technology in such a manner that it cannot communicate with other (e.g. Nokia) mobile phones in order to transfer data.

Apple's is deliberately retarding technology for its consumers, and still behind the rest of the manufacturers.

These are the politics of the monopolies, and the worst part about it is that people STILL buy the inferior products.
